[ICOM] tuning knob skirt

[Alan Leith]

OK Jim.  I'll have a look for it when I go out shopping tomorrow.  I know
what you mean now -- I've used it on hooks in the shack and the kitchen.
But I didn't know it came in rolls.

Thanks.

Al,

The foam tape is available at most home/hardware stores. Its used for
holding fixtures on a shower wall or for holding large paintings in place.
It comes in various widths and thickness. It should be available at office
supply stores. Also Automotive supply stores will have it to hold trim
pieces in place.

I have used it to hold my Microphone hook in place. It has a very good
adhesive.
